Blink-182 fell apart after the release of their last CD which was self-entitled. Not their best CD, over produced and slow at parts. I don't care what you call me, but I have always enjoyed (earlier work more than later) Blink-182. The band split after tensions between the band members with Tom DeLonge making Angels And Airwaves while Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker started up +44. Call me bias, but I enjoyed +44.

Well almost five years after the band's last performance together, they are coming back together and will be touring summer 2009 and are be working on a new album with six songs already completed and hoping for a 2009 release. Unfortunately, they will not be going back to a more of a original style; Tom has stated that the new album will be a fusion of Box Car Racer (a side project of Tom's during the life of Blink-182) and Angels And Airwaves. So if you are a fan of Blink-182, look out for a new album this year and keep checking out their web site for the latest tour dates.

If you ask me, they need to go back to the sound that made them popular to begin with: a fast, pop punk sound. Look at almost every single song that has been a hit: Dammit, Carousel, Josie, What's My Age Again?, The Rock Show, and even some of the newer songs like All The Small Things and Feeling This all had a fast, pop punk sound. It's not me being a bickering old fan, just pointing out my observations of needing more speed and less post-editing effects.
